<p>On her radio show today, Mission America head Linda Harvey lamented the presence of military service members and Boy Scouts in LGBT pride parades.</p>
<p>The anti-LGBT activist called openly gay service members and scouts an &ldquo;insult&rdquo; to their peers, bad role models and most likely child predators.</p>

<blockquote>
Is anyone who insists on open homosexual behavior in our military the kind of soldier we need? I don&rsquo;t think so. And here&rsquo;s the basic issue: no one needs to be doing this behavior in the first place. It&rsquo;s an insult to fellow soldiers, and in a Boy Scout situation, it&rsquo;s an insult to the boys. And yes, open that door and there will be a flood of those interested in having sexual contact with young males. It&rsquo;s the reality that has existed since the beginning of human history, some people insist on this sin and they insist on it with children. It&rsquo;s the really selfish adults or clueless ones who would expose kids to danger like this. Friends, if you have a son or daughter in the Scouts, remove them as soon as possible. They&rsquo;re already hearing about this and learning misinformation. This lifestyle is not how anyone is born and it is certainly not gay.</blockquote>

<p>Barbwire columnist Gina Miller is <a href="http://barbwire.com/2014/06/25/boy-scouts-shamefully-march-kids-n-y-gay-pride-parade/">reacting reasonably</a> to the announcement that some Boy Scout troops will <a href="http://www.glaad.org/blog/ny-area-boy-scouts-lead-nyc-pride-march-face-anti-gay-ban">march in New York&rsquo;s LGBT pride parade this weekend:</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Back when the leadership of Boy Scouts of America bowed down at the altar of &ldquo;Big Gay&rdquo; by allowing openly homosexual boys into their ranks, <a href="http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/miller/130529">we warned you</a> that the militant homosexual activists would not be satisfied with this terrible capitulation. No, they wanted openly homosexual men to be allowed as troop leaders and other administrators. They&rsquo;re still pushing for this. The latest in-your-face statement is being made this Sunday in New York&rsquo;s homosexual &ldquo;pride&rdquo; parade.</p>
<p>&hellip;</p>
<p>This is so sick on so many levels. The sugary words here are a devilish covering for the dark, demented truth of what this is: a perverse attack on young boys who are being used as little tools by an evil movement of sexual degenerates who cannot reproduce, so they must recruit.</p>
<p>Moral straightness is also a scouting virtue that its leadership has flushed down the sewer that is the radical homosexual movement. The Boy Scouts organization has chosen the world over God&rsquo;s moral truth, and it&rsquo;s not going to get better for them, because the insatiable lust for power of the radical homosexual movement will be satisfied with nothing short of complete capitulation to its detestable will.</p>

<p>While still angered by the Boy Scouts of America&rsquo;s decision to allow openly gay youth to join the scouts, Linda Harvey of Mission America is even more upset by Disney&rsquo;s decision to end its funding of the BSA because the organization still bans older gay members from serving in leadership positions.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Yes indeed we know how aggressively the homosexual movement is pushing its views and its behavior on kids and this is one of the most troubling trends in our culture right now, can you imagine how the Boy Scouts will change even more if this happens?&rdquo; Harvey wondered about the BSA potentially dropping its prohibition on gay adult leaders.</p>
<p>After quoting from an American Family Association statement about how &ldquo;Disney is sold out to promoting same-sex twosomes,&rdquo; Harvey urged parents to consider <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/trail-life-usa-spokesman-we-will-not-tolerate-gays-because-theyre-intolerant">the anti-gay group Trail Life USA</a>.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Pray friends for our nation&rsquo;s boys because this corrosive culture has targeted them and these advocates of immorality would love nothing more than to see millions of boys corrupted early,&rdquo; Harvey said. &ldquo;That spells disaster for them as men and for America as a nation.&rdquo;</p>

<p>In yet another <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rafael-cruz-evolution-communist-lie-gay-rights-endanger-children">anti-gay rant</a>&nbsp;posted on YouTube last year, Ted Cruz&rsquo;s father and chief surrogate Rafael argued that it is inaccurate to call gay people &ldquo;gay.&rdquo; After arguing that abortion rights supporters should not be called &ldquo;pro-choice&rdquo; but rather &ldquo;pro-death&rdquo; and &ldquo;pro-murder,&rdquo; Cruz explained that &ldquo;it&rsquo;s just like calling homosexuals &lsquo;gays.&rsquo; &lsquo;Gay&rsquo; means happy, they try to dilute it so that it becomes socially acceptable.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Cruz&nbsp;<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnXAP1dmgWo&feature=youtu.be">told</a> a gathering of the Tea Party-aligned group Grassroots America We The People that gay rights advocates want conservatives to &ldquo;prostitute our principles on behalf of tolerance&rdquo; and vowed to never support marriage equality. &ldquo;Start being biblically correct instead of politically correct,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p align="center"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.pfaw.org//www.youtube.com/embed/jnXAP1dmgWo?rel=0" width="420"></iframe></p>
<p>In a speech at a Baptist church in Irving, Texas in June, Cruz went into detail about his claims that <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rafael-cruz-evolution-communist-lie-gay-rights-endanger-children">gay people are a threat to children</a> and suggested that gays will join the Boy Scouts of America to sexually assault children.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I was a Boy Scout, most of the times when you went out camping the tents were tents for two kids, I certainly don&rsquo;t want my child with a potential sexual predator sleeping next to him,&rdquo; he said.</p>
<p>He said Christians should have been more &ldquo;militant&rdquo; in order to prevent the Boy Scouts from including openly gay scouts and criticized the Southern Baptists for not breaking off ties with the BSA completely.</p>

<img class="imagefield imagefield-field_teaser_astory" width="390" height="250" alt="" src="http://www.pfaw.org/sites/default/files/images/a_story_rww/John_Stemberger.jpg?1368046953" />
<p>John Stemberger, who leads the new anti-gay alternative to the Boy Scouts of America, reassured conservative talk show host <a href="http://janetmefferdpremium.com/2013/09/12/janet-mefferd-radio-show-20130912-hr-1/">Janet Mefferd</a> yesterday that his group, <a href="http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/09/09/gay-free-alternative-to-boy-scouts-launches/">Trail Life USA</a>, is &ldquo;not going to tolerate&rdquo; any openly gay members, describing them as a threat to the &ldquo;safety and security of our children.&rdquo;</p>
<p>While the BSA allows openly gay youth (but not adults) to join, Trail Life USA will ban anyone who is gay, unless he is working to hide and banish his gay demons. Stemberger, who also runs the Florida Family Policy Council, blames &ldquo;society and schools and even parents&rdquo; for affirming LGBT youth, which he said is &ldquo;tantamount to abuse.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;That is just absolutely nonsense and it&rsquo;s an abuse to the child,&rdquo; Stemberger charged. &ldquo;We are not going to tolerate someone who is &lsquo;here and queer; loud and proud,&rsquo; all of that nonsense, that is completely inappropriate in a program where there&rsquo;s children.&rdquo;</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110227237&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
<strong>Stemberger</strong>: We&rsquo;re very sad to leave the Boy Scouts of America. It was a great organization but unfortunately it has taken a turn in a fundamental compromise on its values that is just not acceptable to parents and the safety and security of our children.<br />
<br />
<strong>Mefferd</strong>: Absolutely. Now a lot has been reported about how you will handle the issue of sexuality in the Trail Life USA organization. How did it come about that you put together the parameters that you did and how do you reassure parents that the issues that may come up in the Boy Scouts are not going to be the same in Trail Life USA?<br />
<br />
<strong>Stemberger</strong>: Well first of all, we&rsquo;re not going to allow open and avowed homosexuality. It&rsquo;s really important that we distinguish between a mere same-sex attraction, which by the way 20-25 percent of young boys as they are growing up will experience some sort of gender ambiguity or confusion, or just needing to wonder who they are, needing affirmation, that&rsquo;s not uncommon at all. But what&rsquo;s horrible is to have the society and schools and even parents, which is tantamount to abuse in my judgment, saying &lsquo;oh he is special, he must be gay, he must be gender confused, let&rsquo;s let him explore.&rsquo; That is just absolutely nonsense and it&rsquo;s an abuse to the child. We need to be reaffirming that child of their God-given biology that they are special, made in His image, and help them understand these things. So we&rsquo;re not going to turn away a kid like that, but we are not going to tolerate activists. We are not going to tolerate someone who is &lsquo;here and queer; loud and proud,&rsquo; all of that nonsense, that is completely inappropriate in a program where there&rsquo;s children.</blockquote>
<p>Later in the broadcast, Stemberger warned that when AT&T CEO and BSA board member Randall Stephenson becomes the leader of the organization, it is likely that openly gay adults will be allowed to take part in scouting as well.</p>
<p>While Stemberger said he was &ldquo;never concerned about the adults&rdquo; because &ldquo;the adults have a two-deep leadership policy where no adult can be alone with any scout at one time in scouting,&rdquo; he told parents to fear openly gay adult leaders anyway and defect to Trail Life USA: &ldquo;We&rsquo;re not trying to be bashing the BSA but we are going to be committed to letting parents know of this and that this is a risk, this is a health and safety risk to boys.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Stemberger even predicted that sexual relations and &ldquo;physical, sexual and psychological abuse&rdquo; will become &ldquo;commonplace&rdquo; as a result of the decision to end the ban on openly gay youth.</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F110227230&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
<strong>Mefferd</strong>: You told us that Randall Stephenson, the head of AT&T, is now going to be in charge of the Boy Scouts. Now this is somebody who drew an awful lot of fire prior to this vote as somebody a lot of conservatives wanted ousted from the Boy Scouts.<br />
<br />
<strong>Stemberger</strong>: That&rsquo;s right, in May of next year he will become the president of the Boy Scouts of America and he is on the record saying he doesn&rsquo;t agree with the current policy, doesn&rsquo;t go far enough, he wants open homosexuality not just with boys but with men as well. When that second shoe drops then we will be positioned to see even more parents come and join Trail Life USA. Honestly, I just hate this. I don&rsquo;t like this. We&rsquo;re not trying to be bashing the BSA but we are going to be committed to letting parents know of this and that this is a risk, this is a health and safety risk to boys. They have already issued proclamations saying you will not treat openly gay boys any different, that is they are going to be tented with other boys; they are not going to be separated out in anyway lest they be bullied.<br />
<br />
This is where it&rsquo;s going and this will absolutely increase boy-on-boy sexual contact, which will further contribute to the scandal and the very unfortunate abuse to countless numbers of boys who will undergo physical, sexual and psychological abuse as a result of this policy change. That is the bottom line, that is the thing no one wants to talk about, that is the reality of this change. They can deny it all they want to but you can&rsquo;t control boys. I was never concerned about the adults; the adults have a two-deep leadership policy where no adult can be alone with any scout at one time in scouting. But you can&rsquo;t do that with boys. They are high-risk, they&rsquo;ve got testosterone, they do crazy things and so you&rsquo;re going to have stuff happen commonplace as this policy goes into effect.</blockquote>

<p>John Stemberger was the guest on "WallBuilders Live" <a href="http://www.wallbuilderslive.com/Historic.asp?cdate=77666">today</a>, discussing the new <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/stemberger-loud-and-proud-nonsense-will-absolutely-not-be-tolerated-new-anti-gay-scouts">anti-gay alternative</a> to the Boy Scouts that will be announced later this Fall.</p>
<p>During the discussion, Stemberger stated that with the formation of this new organization, something good will finally result from the vote by the Boy Scouts of America to allow gay scouts, likening it to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus.</p>
<p>"Sometimes things have to die," Stemberger said, "before there's a new birth and it comes back better than before. And, not to extend the analogy too far, but even our Lord went through that process":</p>

<p>Later, co-host Rick Green asked Stemberger what he would say to a Boy Scout leader who was thinking of remaining with the Scouts because this is not an issue for them because they don't have any openly gay boys wanting to join their troop.&nbsp; Stemberger responded by warning that gay activists will begin to "strategically place openly gay boys in troops, especially very conservative troops and see if they will, you know, deny them membership based on the fact that they are flaunting their sexuality" in order to file lawsuits:</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F106190620&color=ff0000&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<p>Near the end of the broadcast, David Barton picked up on Stemberger's warming to issue a warning of his own that "little sins always grow to become big sins that will turn and devour you."&nbsp; To illustrate this point, Barton cited&nbsp; naturalist Joy Adamson, who wrote the book "Born Free" about her experience raising a lion cub.</p>
<p>"Joy Adamson is a name back years ago out of Africa.&nbsp; She did the famous movie and the book 'Born Free' and then 'Living Free' where she raised the lion cubs and Elsa was a lion cub and she ends up getting killed by her favorite lions that she's raised from cubs":</p>

<p>Of course, like so much of what Barton says, this is not true at all, as Adamson was <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2004/feb/08/kenya.conservation">actually murdered by a former employee</a>, not killed by lions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Christian Right talk show hosts Kevin Swanson and Dave Buehner, who compared the decision to allow openly gay Boy Scouts members to inviting serial killers to teach preschool, told <em>Generations Radio</em> listeners Friday that the youth organization is &ldquo;finding the very worst [sins] and creating merit badges for them.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;[P]retty soon you&rsquo;re going to have the sodomy merit badge,&rdquo; Buehner warned, while Swanson wondered if there will be a badge for incest or even a &ldquo;cannibal merit badge.&rdquo;</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F106185621&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
<strong>Swanson</strong>: Manhood is a problem and the Boy Scouts are going to lead the decline since the final decision came down that the Boy Scouts as a national organization are going to invite homosexuals into the troops.<br />
<br />
<strong>Buehner</strong>: Which is just a matter [of time] until they invite homosexuals, active homosexuals, to be leaders of the troops and pretty soon you&rsquo;re going to have the sodomy merit badge. Christians are fleeing like rats.<br />
<br />
<strong>Swanson</strong>: And after that I guess it&rsquo;s incest; after that I guess it&rsquo;s the cannibal merit badge, where I guess you cut up human flesh, fry it&mdash;<br />
<br />
<strong>Buehner</strong>: Cook it in a Dutch oven out in the wilderness.<br />
<br />
Swanson: So that&rsquo;s what the Boy Scouts are doing, they are trying to add abomination on <strong>abomination</strong>, effectively going into God&rsquo;s word, trying to find the thing that God really, really, really hates the most. The sins listed in the Bible, going through the lists of sins in the Bible, finding the very worst ones and creating merit badges for them is where the Boy Scouts are headed.</blockquote>

<p>WorldNetDaily is angry that the Boy Scouts of America introduced a <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/environmental-policy/boy-scouts-america-introduce-sustainability-merit-badge.html">sustainability merit badge</a>, with columnist Jane Chastain <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/07/bsa-to-bsun-one-world-scouting/">arguing</a> that it is one of the horrible consequences of its decision to &ldquo;admit openly gay youth.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Unfortunately, these innocent young boys are being indoctrinated into Agenda 21,&rdquo; Chastain writes, &ldquo;sustainability is the hammer the United Nations uses in an attempt to bring all the nations of the world into submission.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She claims that the organization&rsquo;s relationship with the <a href="http://scout.org/en/about_scouting">World Organization of the Scout Movement</a> and the BSA-affiliated <a href="http://www.scouting.org/messengersofpeace.aspx">Messengers of Peace</a> will not only advance one-world government but also lead to &ldquo;sexual activity&rdquo; among scouts and socialist brainwashing.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Attendees who are familiar with the goals of the WOSM and the programs of Agenda 21, however, are concerned that the BSA is conditioning Scouts to become little &lsquo;soldiers for socialism&rsquo; and world peace,&rdquo; Chastain writes.</p>
<blockquote>
When the Boy Scouts of America voted to admit openly gay youth, it was a sea-change for the organization, which since its inception had trained young boys to serve both God and country and to keep themselves &ldquo;morally straight.&rdquo; In other words, to abide by to the principles in His word.<br />
<br />
Now that the big (G)od is gone and only a little (g)od who doesn&rsquo;t demand anything is allowed, it is only a matter of time that &ldquo;country&rdquo; also will be invited to take a hike.<br />
<br />
The 2013 Jamboree, which was just concluded at the Summit, the Scouts&rsquo; new 10,600 acre, half-billion dollar home in West Virginia, was a step toward that end.<br />
<br />
The theme was &ldquo;Go Big,&rdquo; and indeed it was. One attendee pointed out that it was at least an hour&rsquo;s walk to get anywhere, and there was no transportation, as there has been at past events, because the unofficial theme of this Jamboree was &ldquo;sustainability.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
For the uninitiated, sustainability is the hammer the United Nations uses in an attempt to bring all the nations of the world into submission under a perfect &ldquo;peaceful&rdquo; one-world government controlled by the &ldquo;enlightened.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, these innocent young boys are being indoctrinated into Agenda 21 as they are now required to earn one of two badges: Environmental Science (boring) or the new and exciting Sustainability Badge, which was introduced at the Summit. To help them along this path, there was a Sustainability tent.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
The Messengers of Peace originated with the U.N. and is used to focus attention on its work. This initiative was launched by the World Organization of the Scout Movement, which was widely promoted at the Summit along with the BSA&rsquo;s co-ed Venture program. It appears, the BSA is now laying the groundwork to conform to the goals of the co-ed WOSM.<br />
<br />
In many countries this includes co-ed tent assignments, with sexual activity viewed as a &ldquo;right of passage.&rdquo; It may not be officially sanctioned, but sex between tent-mates is not frowned upon if the hookups are between scouts near the same age.<br />
<br />
All the kids at the Summit participated in a Messenger of Peace Day of Service, which on the surface appears laudable. Attendees who are familiar with the goals of the WOSM and the programs of Agenda 21, however, are concerned that the BSA is conditioning Scouts to become little &ldquo;soldiers for socialism&rdquo; and world peace.<br />
<br />
There is a big difference between peace and freedom. If the goal is the former, then, over time, one can be conditioned to give up the latter.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, it appears that in the new BSA that is the goal.</blockquote>

<img class="imagefield imagefield-field_teaser_astory" width="390" height="250" alt="" src="http://www.pfaw.org/sites/default/files/images/a_story_rww/John_Stemberger.jpg?1368046953" />
<p>John Stemberger appeared on Peter LaBarbera&rsquo;s show <em>Americans For Truth About Homosexuality Radio Hour</em> yesterday to promote his new alternative to the Boy Scouts. Stemberger left the Boy Scouts of America after it voted to lift its ban on openly gay youth, and in a <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/national-coalition-announces-boy-scouts-alternative-founded-on-christian-values-99723/">press conference</a> announced that &ldquo;young men who have same-sex attractions will be permitted into the organization, though they will not be allowed to push a gay agenda or flaunt their sexual orientation. I think that there's a real difference between someone who has a same-sex attraction and someone who identifies with the gay political movement.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Seeing that the breakaway group left solely over the issue of homosexuality, Stemberger&rsquo;s claim that only &ldquo;someone who identifies with the gay political movement&rdquo; will be barred from his group may seem perplexing.</p>
<p>But that is until you realize that Stemberger <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/stemberger-anything-has-word-gay-it-inappropriate-kids">actually</a> <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/conservatives-denounce-anti-god-human-rights-ordinance-jacksonville">believes</a> that anyone who is openly gay and not suppressing or trying to change his sexual orientation is part of the sinister gay agenda.</p>
<p>As he explained to LaBarbera, &ldquo;if there is a young man who we find out or confesses to a leader, in the context that these are Christian men, that they have a same-sex attraction, we will deal with that as a ministry issue. We will point them to the scripture, point them to the standard of our membership oath and to the scripture and to help them through that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;However, we will not tolerate under any circumstances any kind of flaunting, any kind of outward loud and proud nonsense, all of that that encompasses gay activism, the promotion of the gay agenda, will absolutely not be tolerated in the program,&rdquo; Stemberger said. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s a huge difference because the BSA will have that, that&rsquo;s exactly what they are inviting when they allow open and avowed [gay] youth.&rdquo;</p>

<p>In recent remarks <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYhwHi5YxBQ">posted on YouTube</a> by right-wing activist Cliff Kincaid, Faith2Action&rsquo;s Janet Porter gave her take on the Boy Scouts&rsquo; recent decision to allow openly gay scouts while continuing to bar openly gay troop leaders.</p>
<p>The Boy Scouts&rsquo; decision, Porter said, means &ldquo;the last secular organization has capitulated to the homosexual agenda.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;While they&rsquo;re keeping out the homosexual predator scoutmasters,&rdquo; she said, &ldquo;they&rsquo;re allowing these confused children who are sexually attracted to other boys to go camping with your son in the same tent.&rdquo;</p>
<p>This, she added, would be just like the Girl Scouts opening up camping trips to boys.</p>

<p>Several months before the Boy Scouts of America put the decision on ending the ban on gay scouts to a vote at the National Annual Meeting in May, Bryan Fischer <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/fischer-flashback-chances-bsa-voting-end-ban-gay-scouts-nonexistent">boldly guaranteed </a>that there is literally no chance that a vote to end the ban would ever pass.</p>

<p>But according to Fischer, who recently <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98_aOSyngII">appeared on The Dove TV </a>to discuss the issue, the American Family Association was so confident that the measure would fail that the only press release the organization prepared was one praising the Boy Scouts for upholding the original policy.</p>

<p>Earlier this year, televangelist Pat Robertson <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/robertson-boy-scouts-welcoming-predators-and-pedophiles-changing-anti-gay-policy">claimed</a> that the Boy Scouts of America would be opening the door to &ldquo;predators&rdquo; and &ldquo;pedophiles&rdquo; if the organization ended its ban on gay members. Following the BSA&rsquo;s decision to lift its ban on openly gay youth, Robertson on the <em>700 Club</em> today said that it is a &ldquo;terrible shame&rdquo; that a &ldquo;tiny minority&rdquo; is &ldquo;willing to rip apart the framework of traditional marriage; to rip apart an organization that has done so much good for young people, the Boy Scouts; to rip apart certain of these other things that we have counted as important in our society; all for one thing: that the way they do sex will be accepted in the mainstream of society.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Two percent deciding what the rest of us does,&rdquo; Robertson <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzkVUEmHVI0&feature=youtu.be">warned</a>, &ldquo;and they are willing to destroy it. Hollywood and the so-called liberal media has jumped on board that this is the new civil rights, well I don&rsquo;t think so.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He went on to say that it &ldquo;breaks your heart&rdquo; to see the Boy Scouts &ldquo;torn up in order to accommodate a few kids who want to do sex with each other. It just boggles the mind.&rdquo;</p>

<p>In a <a href="http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/39722-did-boy-scouts-sell-its-soul-to-the-devil">column</a> for the Religious Right magazine <em>Charisma</em>, Republican strategist Raynard Jackson argues that the Boy Scouts &ldquo;sold their souls to the devil&rdquo; for having &ldquo;decided to make 97 percent of its troop members uncomfortable in order to satisfy the perverted needs of 3 percent.&rdquo; He writes that &ldquo;radical homosexuals&rdquo; have targeted the Boy Scouts as part of their scheme to turn kids into &ldquo;pawns in an adult game perpetrated by immoral homosexual activists,&rdquo; insisting that &ldquo;there will be hell to pay as a result of that bonehead decision.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
When the Boy Scouts of America&rsquo;s (BSA) leadership voted to allow openly homosexual kids to become Boy Scouts, they, in that one act, sold their souls to the devil. Consequently, there will be hell to pay as a result of that bonehead decision.<br />
<br />
To make matters worse, they decided to continue to enforce their policy of not allowing participation by openly homosexual adults as troop leaders. In its bylaws, the BSA has for more than 100 years precluded homosexuals, atheists and agnostics from being involved with the Scouts. In recent years, pro-homosexual activists have increased pressure on the Scouts to rescind the policy, and they won the vote with more than 60 percent of the 1,400 eligible voters supporting the new policy.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
How can you train youth in responsible citizenship, character development and self-reliance when you have adult cowards voting to shift the group&rsquo;s moral compass to make radical homosexuals feel good?<br />
<br />
You don&rsquo;t give kids choices at that age; you give them direction. Kids should not be used by adults as pawns in an adult game perpetrated by immoral homosexual activists.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, when did morals, values and beliefs become subject to the latest opinion poll or political whim? For more than 100 years, the BSA has been very clear in its position to exclude homosexuality, atheism and agnosticism.<br />
<br />
It is estimated that gays account for 3 percent of the U.S. population. Assuming that percentage applies to youth as well, that means the BSA has decided to make 97 percent of its troop members uncomfortable in order to satisfy the perverted needs of 3 percent.</blockquote>

<p>Earlier this year on <em>Generations Radio</em>, Kevin Swanson argued that if the Boy Scouts of America allowed gay members it would be just like <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/swanson-allowing-gays-boy-scouts-letting-serial-killers-teach-preschool">letting serial killers teach preschool</a>. Now that delegates at the BSA national conference voted to end the ban on gay youth, Swanson said that demonic spirits gained control of the convention to push the gay-inclusive resolution through.</p>
<p>Later, the right-wing radio broadcaster claimed that &ldquo;any parent who loves his kid&rdquo; should pull their child from scouting groups that don&rsquo;t oppose &ldquo;civilization-destroying things like homosexuality.&rdquo; He charged homosexuality with &ldquo;destroying our nation and our civilizations,&rdquo; calling it one of &ldquo;the absolute worst abominations found in the word of God.&rdquo;</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F94852626&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
You have powerful principalities; you have spiritual principalities that have a fair amount of control over large, centralized systems and these demonic systems find opportunity to control these large, centralized organizations. That&rsquo;s one reason why it is so dangerous to centralized power; it is very dangerous, that&rsquo;s one reason why our nation was inherently decentralized at the beginning.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
If at the point where they have embraced some of the absolute worst abominations found in the word of God, friends I would think people would wake up and say, &lsquo;you know what I just don&rsquo;t want my children growing up with the idea that we accept this kind of behavior as righteous behavior.&rsquo; Friends, this is the disintegration of society and morality as we know it, this is where it happens, right here. Unless parents wake up and get their kids out of the Boy Scouts and out of the Girl Scouts, I personally think you&rsquo;re going to lose your kids, you&rsquo;re going to lose your kids to these worldly ideas, you&rsquo;re going to lose your kids to these civilization-destroying things like homosexuality. My encouragement right now is all good people, any parent who loves his kid should get their kids out of the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts because they are endorsing some of this unrighteous behavior. This is the kind of stuff that is destroying our nation and our civilizations.</blockquote>

<p>Alan Keyes, who previously warned that openly gay Boy Scouts will <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/keyes-gay-boy-scouts-will-force-other-scouts-be-gay">peer pressure their fellow scouts into being gay</a>, today <a href="http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/130530">argues</a> that the Boy Scouts of America&rsquo;s decision to lift the ban on gay youth now means that scouts will be able to engage in &ldquo;sex, drugs, lying, stealing, and beating people up for the heck of it&rdquo; and join &ldquo;street gangs&rdquo; so long as it is not during scouting activities.</p>
<blockquote>
This is why scouting has had such an enormous and lasting impact on the lives of so many men. It was not just a way of passing the time. It was training for life, intended to become a way of life. The scout oath wasn't a pledge to behave a certain way during scouting activities. It was a commitment to respect the scouting standard of virtue in every aspect of life. That's why "being such a boy scout" became the proverbial term for someone who refused to go along with the crowd when doing so involved engaging in wrong activities, activities like lying, or bullying, or stealing, etc. That's why so many young men who accepted and tried to live by the scout oath became outstanding leaders in other walks of life, especially those that required individual moral courage, and/or the physical stamina and bravery it produces.<br />
<br />
As it stands, the BSA's decision formally abandons the notion that scouting is a way of life. It puts the movement in the position of saying that you can adopt one standard during scouting activities, and another for your other life activities, as if scouting is simply a game where certain rules apply while you're on the field. If this is true with respect to the fundamental obligations of love and respect that are the basis of family life, what of the other aspects of the scouting oath and ethos? Will being a boy scout now mean that you are trustworthy during scouting activities, but lie and cheat in other respects? Will it mean helping old ladies across the street as a troop exercise on Saturday, after a little exercise in purse snatching with the gang on Friday night?<br />
<br />
To be sure, "he's a real boy scout" will no longer be available as a sneering term of disapproval from the worldly wise. And youngsters who join the scouts will no longer have to feel torn between the choices they are supposed to make as scouts and the choices they are pressured to make by their peers. So long as they refrain from sex, drugs, lying, stealing, and beating people up for the heck of it during scouting activities, they can feel free to admit that they engage in those activities in the street gangs or school cliques that once shunned and ridiculed "real boy scouts."<br />
<br />
Sadly, the people who have shunned "real boy scouts" in this way have a better sense of integrity with respect to their vicious ways of life than the so-called leaders who just voted to abandon the integrity of the scouting way of life. They know that the effort to mix their vices and the virtues of scouting is a problem that has no solution. "Choose you this day whom you will serve" will always be the challenge that demands separating the one from the other. The BSA once stood clearly on the side of the right choice. Now they stand for the deceitful notion that you can serve God and mammon.</blockquote>

<p>WorldNetDaily&rsquo;s Jane Chastain claims gay rights advocates are following &ldquo;the principle of winning the battle of the mind&rdquo; laid out by Adolf Hitler, who <a href="http://www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/online/hsx/">violently persecuted gays and lesbians</a>, in Mein Kampf.</p>
<p>After <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/the-gay-bullies-won/">arguing</a> that gays are trying to manipulate others, Chastain maintains that only &ldquo;some people (a tiny fraction of a percent) are born with physical abnormalities that might predispose one to that lifestyle&rdquo; and &ldquo;these cases are 100 percent correctable. It often involves something as simple as hormone treatment.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
I do not hate anyone. (It seems silly to have to preface my remarks with that statement, but these are strange times.) I do hate bad behavior. That includes lying, name-calling, intimidation and bullying, which have become the hallmarks of gay-rights activists.<br />
<br />
Last week, the Boy Scouts of America abandoned the time-honored principles enshrined in the oath and law and gave in to these bullies when leadership skillfully manipulated its voting delegates to approve a resolution to admit openly gay Scouts into its ranks.<br />
<br />
The oath includes a &ldquo;duty to God&rdquo; and a pledge to keep oneself &ldquo;morally straight.&rdquo; The law proclaims that a Scout is &ndash; among other things &ndash; obedient, reverent, loyal and brave. The BSA leadership is none of the above. Therefore, the Scouts&rsquo; ability to lead young boys to become responsible God-fearing young men with these qualities has been hopelessly compromised.<br />
<br />
Adolf Hitler introduced the principle of winning the battle of the mind with the &ldquo;Big Lie&rdquo; in his book &ldquo;Mein Kampf&rdquo;:<br />
<br />
&ldquo;&hellip; the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. Here, as so often in the world, persistence is the first and most important requirement for success.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The Big Lie as practiced by gay rights activists:<br />
<br />
&bull; Homosexuality is not a choice. One is born that way.<br />
<br />
&bull; Homosexuality is normal and natural for these individuals.<br />
<br />
&bull; If you have any of these feelings, you should embrace them.<br />
<br />
&bull; If you do not agree with the above statements, you are displaying homophobic behavior (fear of homosexuals).<br />
<br />
&bull; And therefore you discriminate against gay individuals.<br />
<br />
No one likes to be accused of discrimination or to be called names, which is part and parcel of the bullying process. However, to cave in to bullies is not bravery, it is cowardice.<br />
<br />
I would be the first to admit that some people are &ldquo;born gay&rdquo; if there were scientific evidence to support such a claim. There is not!<br />
<br />
Some people (a tiny fraction of a percent) are born with physical abnormalities that might predispose one to that lifestyle. These cases are 100 percent correctable. It often involves something as simple as hormone treatment.<br />
<br />
In most cases, however, homosexuality is connected to a bad home environment with an absent father and/or domineering mother, sexual molestation or &ndash; more common today &ndash; something call imprinting (first sexual experience).</blockquote>

<p>Linda Harvey of Mission America is clearly devastated by the Boy Scouts of America&rsquo;s decision to allow openly gay youth and in a radio commentary said that the &ldquo;truly heartbreaking&rdquo; vote was &ldquo;a slam on authentic boyhood and manhood&rdquo; that will have &ldquo;our children corrupted as a result.&rdquo;</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F94532106&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
The Boy Scouts of America embraced open homosexual attraction for boys. Boys can now identify as gay and announce that to the whole troop, and this is OK. The vote was 61 percent in favor. It&rsquo;s truly heartbreaking to watch the morals of a revered institution disintegrate in this way, and our children corrupted as a result. America, how did we get here? The statement coming out of the Boy Scout organization said that even though they knew this would be controversial, &ldquo;We can all agree that kids are better off in scouting.&rdquo; Well, not true. This statement is just as naive and foolish as the proposal itself. No, we can&rsquo;t all agree that boys are better in scouting, not now. Knowledgeable parents will move their boys at the earliest possible time to a much better organization. Why? Because many, if not most, troops will quickly become homosexually affirming climates either in theory or in real-time practice. This is a vote of weakness and a slam on authentic boyhood and manhood.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
Folks, whatever the motivation for this move, it&rsquo;s insane. Troops are not supposed to be social experiments or, possibly, therapy centers for troubled boys who may be leaning toward homosexuality. As we&rsquo;ve said here before, kids who have same-sex attractions can change and often do by adulthood. But it is not healthy or right to involve other children with these very personal struggles as confused boys are figuring all this out, or maybe not figuring it out.</blockquote>
<p>Writing in <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2013/05/texas-boy-scout-massacre/"><em>WorldNetDaily</em></a>, Harvey accused gay rights activists of supporting child abuse and using &ldquo;tactics that increasingly resemble childish middle-school bullies morphing into terrorists.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
Condom training, cross-dressing troop members and lessons on &ldquo;homophobia&rdquo;: Welcome to the new, improved Boy Scouts of America.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
Well, &ldquo;gay activism&rdquo; happened, and the pressure was apparently too much. It just goes to show you how much influence this lobby has, with tactics that increasingly resemble childish middle-school bullies morphing into terrorists. And Boy Scout parents and leaders who actually believe the pink mafia will stop here are beyond na&iuml;ve.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
As time rolls on, there will be incidents of abuse. Will the Boy Scout organization report these? Let&rsquo;s not kid ourselves. They just showed how compromised/intimidated/clueless they are. Expect cover-up upon cover-up in the future, eventually resembling the Catholic Church scandal.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
The climate of assent will erode each boy&rsquo;s code of ethics, either quickly or slowly, but it will happen. It will erode the Christian boy&rsquo;s reliance on Scripture, his relationship with the real, living Almighty God and our Savior Jesus Christ. If he begins to doubt that God actually is our Creator, the One who decided long ago what is good and what is evil, and did condemn homosexual behavior as a sin, and if he is lulled into failing to use the brain God gave him to observe that two men together is observably wrong, this is a boy who is being enabled in truth denial. He is then vulnerable to all kinds of other corruption and, without an anchor, is really no different than any un-Scouted kid in our rudderless society.</blockquote>

<p>She argues that gay Boy Scouts will &ldquo;train&rdquo; and sexually assault other scouts and then trick them to &ldquo;believe they are naturally &lsquo;that way.&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Now, bigger and/or more manipulative lads, with cell phones and other pornography resources stirring their sinews, will greedily entrap any and all boys who seem easy prey,&rdquo; Reisman claims, &ldquo;Eroticize the campsite and you eroticize boys to one another and to their leaders.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
The recent Boy Scout betrayal is a glaring example of the growing impotence of masc<br />
<br />
uline virtue and honor. And please, don&rsquo;t take refuge by blaming &ldquo;the feminist movement.&rdquo; Really!<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
Oh, but such boy predators won&rsquo;t singly or gang victimize Scouts! Perish the thought! On May 23, a real Man, Chuck Peters, of Voice of the Voiceless (&ldquo;the only anti-defamation league for former homosexuals, individuals with unwanted same-sex attractions, and their families&rdquo;), having been a young sexually violated Scout himself, charged:<br />
<br />
&ldquo;New Boy Scout Policy May Lead To Increased Pedophilia.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
<em>May</em> lead?<br />
<br />
Indeed, Mr. Peters, indeed.<br />
<br />
Assuming the votes were trustworthy, 854 adults, that is, 61 percent of roughly 1,400 BSA&rsquo;s National Council voting members, &ldquo;who cast ballots,&rdquo; have opened their boys to youths branded as &ldquo;openly gay-identified Boy Scouts.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Adults are meant to know better.<br />
<br />
Youths commonly heed adult ideas and mark themselves accordingly (I&rsquo;m stupid, clumsy, ugly, or even brilliant or wise!). However, adults are meant to help vulnerable youths grow, learn and become who they are meant to be &ndash; years hence.<br />
<br />
Instead, 854 adults stamped a &ldquo;bull&rsquo;s eye&rdquo; on the Boy Scouts as pederast targets.<br />
<br />
Now, bigger and/or more manipulative lads, with cell phones and other pornography resources stirring their sinews, will greedily entrap any and all boys who seem easy prey.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Boy Scout&rdquo; is defined in Gay Speak, the homophile lexicon:<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Boy-scout queen: (sexually experimenting boy scouts who fear giving a response); one who pretends to snooze as he is f&ndash;-ed or s&ndash;-ed off, &lsquo;sugar loaf,&rsquo; &lsquo;sugar babe,&rsquo; etc., bees to the honey!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
I sanitized the text for you.<br />
<br />
What cowards to pretend ignorance of the massive history of Boy Scout molestations!<br />
<br />
Eroticize the campsite and you eroticize boys to one another and to their leaders. &ldquo;Gay Scoutmasters&rdquo; will arrive soon to &ldquo;help&rdquo; &ldquo;their&rdquo; lads, to train and encourage them &ndash; to believe they are naturally &ldquo;that way.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The &ldquo;I just knew I was different since I was 5 years old&rdquo; mantra.<br />
<br />
Sure.</blockquote>

<p>Rick Perry, who has <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rick-perry-urges-boy-scouts-oppose-gay-pop-culture-sam-houston-resisted-slavery">equated</a> the fight against gays in the Boy Scouts to the fight to abolish slavery, told Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council on Friday&rsquo;s edition of <em>Washington Watch</em> that the Boy Scouts of America&rsquo;s delegates bowed to &ldquo;political correctness&rdquo; and &ldquo;money&rdquo; in ending the ban on gay members under the age of 18. The Texas governor went as so far as to say that God will hold the BSA&rsquo;s leadership accountable: &ldquo;they will look back on it someday and be held accountable, so that day will come and they will stand before their maker and be accountable for the decisions that they made.&rdquo;</p>

<blockquote>
I think a loving, tolerant view towards those who have different sexual preference is the ideal position but Scouts has never been about sexuality and my point is that&rsquo;s one of the reasons I wrote the book, it shouldn&rsquo;t be. Scouting is not about sex, it&rsquo;s about building character. But those who wanted to push their agenda have now put parents and young men in the position of making a decision, is this where I want to spend my time? Is this an organization that I do want to be associated with? I think the jury is going to be out for a while. I do think that those on that board made a decision that was driven by political correctness, by money and they will look back on it someday and be held accountable, so that day will come and they will stand before their maker and be accountable for the decisions that they made.</blockquote>
<p>Later in the show, the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2013/05/15/aspersions-asparagus-one-moment-from-the-holder-testimony/">always eloquent</a> Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) tried to make a joke (or something) about how Boy Scouts might earn a merit badge from an openly gay troop leader.&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F94338709&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
<strong>Perkins</strong>: Even before the ink was dry on the press releases the groups pushing this were demanding that they needed more, this was not enough; they wanted to open up the ranks of leadership to those who openly practice homosexuality.<br />
<br />
<strong>Gohmert</strong>: I wonder what you&rsquo;d call that merit badge.<br />
<br />
<strong>Perkins</strong>: I don&rsquo;t know but I&rsquo;m sure they&rsquo;ll think of something.</blockquote>
<p>Gohmert claimed that he is &ldquo;brokenhearted&rdquo; over the decision, telling Perkins: &ldquo;You&rsquo;re going to allow a situation where a seventeen-year-old guy that&rsquo;s sexually attracted to other guys gets in a little tent with an eleven-year-old new rookie Boy Scout and they spend the night together, night after night at camp? I mean, come on.&rdquo; He said that the Boy Scouts only made the move over the possible financial benefits and in doing so ignored the Bible.</p>

<blockquote>
I was just so brokenhearted over the vote with the Boy Scouts. You&rsquo;re going to allow a situation where a seventeen-year-old guy that&rsquo;s sexually attracted to other guys gets in a little tent with an eleven-year-old new rookie Boy Scout and they spend the night together, night after night at camp? I mean, come on. I thought we were making progress. All I can figure is&mdash;I was an Eagle Scout, we share so much of the love of scouting&mdash;when you hear what happened, the people I talked to are, &lsquo;well just think there are so many corporations that are holding up their donations and if we will just do this all of that money is going to flow to Boy Scouts.&rsquo; Are you kidding me? Is money the most important thing in life? Gosh no. You&rsquo;re blessed so much more if you follow the teachings in the little old rulebook we call the Bible.</blockquote>

<p>Within minutes of the news that the Boy Scouts of America had voted to end the organization's ban on gay scouts last week, John Stemberger, who had <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/stemberger-gay-boy-scouts-are-not-going-be-equal-they-re-going-be-segregated">been</a> <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/stemberger-anything-has-word-gay-it-inappropriate-kids">leading</a> <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/stemberger-lifting-bsas-gay-ban-going-create-wave-boy-boy-sexual-abuse">the</a> <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/stemberger-ending-gay-ban-boy-scouts-will-lead-sexual-physical-and-psychological-abuse">fight</a> to retain the ban, <a href="http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/23/my-take-why-my-family-is-quitting-the-boy-scouts/?utm_source=feedly">announced</a> that he was removing his sons from the program and ending his affiliation with it.</p>
<p>On Friday, Stemberger <a href="http://www.trunews.com/Audio/5_24_13_friday_trunews2.mp3">joined</a> End Times radio host Rick Wiles to discuss the vote as the two lamented that the "God-hating socialists" are "ripping the heart out of the American people" and warning that this was just the latest battle in the revolution being waged by Communist-Marxists to destroy this nation:&nbsp;</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F94312654&color=ff0000&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Wiles</strong>: This is what the God-hating socialists in this country is doing to the fabric of America; they're ripping the heart out of the American people.</p>
<p><strong>Stemberger</strong>: Yes.&nbsp; That's exactly right and it breaks my hear. It literally breaks my heart.</p>
<p>...</p>
<p><strong>Wiles</strong>: You know John, what is really sad about this is that the Marxist-Communists that are in control of this country right now - I mean, I don't know how you feel, but we really are under a Communist revolution.&nbsp; And if anybody is around fifty to a hundred years from now and looks back, they're going to go 'wow, there was a Communist revolution taking place at the beginning of the 21st century.' And whether we survive it or not, that remains to be determined.</p>
<p>But that sad thing is that the Marxist-Communists in America have won on this issue regardless of what happens.&nbsp; Because if parents keep their boys in the Boy Scouts, the Communists have still won because the boys will be eventually lead towards accepting homosexuality. They're going to destroy the moral culture of hundreds of thousands of boys all over America.</p>
<p>But if parents pull their children out, the Marxist-Communists have won also because they've destroyed a fine organization that for more than a hundred years has stood for honor and integrity and God and country.&nbsp; So either way, the Marxist-Communists have won on this issue.</p>
<p><strong>Stemberger</strong>: Yep. Yep. It's very sad.</p>

<p>On his radio program today, Bryan Fischer <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfc0v-zRMsg">weighed in</a> on the decision by the Boy Scouts of America to drop its ban on gay scouts last night.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Admitting that he was shocked by the vote since <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/fischer-flashback-chances-bsa-voting-end-ban-gay-scouts-nonexistent">he was positive</a> that it was going to be retained, Fischer declared that the BSA should change its name to the "Boy Sodomizers of America." Fischer eventually read a passage from the <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+17%3A2&version=ASV">Book of Luke</a> in which Jesus says it is better to have a stone tied around ones neck and be tossed into the sea than to lead a child to sin <a href="http://youtu.be/70zHfCnY62E">as a warning</a> to BSA leaders that they will face the judgment of God for endorsing this change in policy:</p>
